Dr. Scott Haltzman, Brown University Psychiatrist And Author, Wants To
Learn The Secrets Of Happily Married Women.
PROVIDENCE, RI - January 10, 2007 - Nearly half of all marriages in
America will end in divorce. When relationships go sour, it's usually
the women who want out. What differentiates women who thrive in their
marriages from those who are miserable? That's what Brown University
Psychiatrist Scott Haltzman would like to know, and he's launched a
website to find out.
"When I published my book, 'The Secrets of Happily Married Men,' last
year, one of the first questions raised by readers and the press was:
'Where's the companion book for women?'" says Haltzman, whose book
about husbands was chosen by Time magazine as one of the "Six Books
for a Better You in 2006." In "The Secrets of Happily Married Men,"
the psychiatrist gathered data from an Internet research site and
included first-hand accounts of men and women in the book.
After signing a book deal with Jossey-Bass, Haltzman has again turned
to the World Wide Web to search for the secrets of happily married
women. His new site, http://www.HappilyMarriedWomen.com (a.k.a.
http://www.DrScott.com), invites wives and husbands to contribute the
strategies and attitudes that keep marriages thriving. Haltzman and
co-author Theresa Foy DiGeronimo plan to compile the information into
a new book, "The Secrets of Happily Married Women," due out late 2007.
Haltzman, who has been researching marriage for the last seven years,
has already learned many useful tips from women who enjoy marital
bliss. He notes, "Without exception, happy wives recognize the
differences in needs between men and women, and strive to meet those
needs lovingly." Based on his preliminary findings, Haltzman offers
the following tips for women:
Communication means more than just talk - Because men are often more
comfortable with using actions to demonstrate emotions, a woman can
better "hear" her man's expressions of love if she watches for them
(and therefore feel more loved herself).
Less is more - For most husbands, speech that gets directly to the
point is more effective than long explanations. So women can save
themselves the trouble of lengthy descriptions since he's not going
to listen anyway. Give him the facts up front. He listens; you get
heard and everyone´s happy!
Savor your friendships with women - It's natural to have ebbs and
flows in your marital bond. To help get through the ebb periods,
maintain close ties to female friends. They'll help to find a
balance in a woman's need for connection.
Simple pleasures are often best - Sometimes, simply making a home-
cooked meal or a backrub can convert a grizzly husband into a teddy
bear; it's so much easier than trying to get him to open up and talk
about what's making him cranky.
Boost his ego - Men like to feel like they make a big difference
in their woman's life, even when they do trivial things such as
opening a jar of peanut butter. So go ahead and praise the
simple things; it's an easy way to motivate him to do even more!
Haltzman acknowledges that these recommendations are really just
the tip of the iceberg. "In order to learn what really propels women
to great relationships, I need to hear from the women themselves. The
website is easy to use, totally confidential, and a place where women
can learn from other women. I'm eager to learn what works and what
doesn't work. If I can get more women to apply the secrets of happily
married women, we can dramatically reduce divorce rates and have many
more couples live happily ever after."
